TheBanyanTree: Another fruitcake

[Woofie]

This sounds very much like a good Irish Xmas cake recipe I used ter
have..yup sherry gives an  exceptionally good flavour ter fruit
cakes..also..after yer has cooked the cake and it has cooled, pour
brandy (or rum) over the top of the cake and seal cake in waxed paper
or similar and place in air tight tin or plastic container and leave
for a month before eating. The brandy keeps the cake moist and also
ferments a bit to produce a very rich and tasty cake.


L> Please note that I was wrong about a few things.  There is indeed candied
L> fruit in it, but not nearly as much as the grocery store cakes, and it
L> doesn't call for rum at all - it's supposed to have the wine.  Hey, I
L> can't remember my kids' names... you want me to remember a recipe I
L> haven't so much as helped with for 25 years?  Gimme a break!  ;o)
